We can demand the urgent convocation of the Air Quality Board with representation of all affected neighbors (05/12/2018)

Alumbres, La Aldea, Borricen, Vista Alegre, The Station, Los Mateos, Santa Lucia, Torreciega, San Ginés, El Llano, La Aljorra, all these populations suffer in one way or another the effects of pollution on health, and We can not fail to count on your participation in the Air Quality Board, the participation body of all the agents involved in the search for solutions, and in improving the health of the citizens.

After the news published today in La Verdad, about the mobilization of the town of Alumbres, against the pollution caused by the companies operating in the Valley of Escombreras, Podemos recriminates the Municipal Government that has not proposed through the Department of Environment Environment, the relevant actions so that the residents of Alumbres can feel safe in their town, and with the quality of the air they breathe.

But this situation does not only occur in Alumbres and Vista Alegre, towns where the pollution produced in Escombreras most affects, but also repeats in La Estación, Los Mateos, Santa Lucia, Torreciega, and San Ginés, when still the neighbors do not have a clear idea of â€‹â€‹what the City Council is going to do with the polluted lands of Hondón, Zincsa, and Peñarroya.

So much so, declares from Podemos, that the neighbors have had to constitute a Platform for those affected by contaminated land in the urban perimeter, in order to defend themselves, since the administrations, the City Council and the Autonomous Community have been ignoring them for years.

The same happens with the residents of the Llano, who thanks to their pressure, the two administrations, municipal and regional, have had to run to address the terrible situation caused by the unrestored lands of the Sierra Minera in the health of their children and grandchildren.

Since we can not forget the neighbors of the Aljorra, with the emissions of Bisphenol A and Sabic, which ends with them "curling the loop" of pollution in our municipality.

"Cartagena is a time bomb to burst, of which nobody has been responsible for decades, and the real affected are the neighbors who see their health and that of their family members worsens without knowing that we are breathing in. ", Declares Pilar Marcos, Secretary General of Podemos Cartagena.

For all this, we can demand from the Municipal Government the urgent convocation of the Air Quality Board, where each and every one of the actions that the government is going to carry out to improve the living conditions of the neighbors, and also to that they can participate and give their opinion in the search for the resolution of such a serious problem, which finally affects all and all Cartagena.
